The “2nd ring”, ie inspections, during which, since August, we have detained around 300 smugglers who, for money, are trying to transport people brought by the Belarusian regime from Belarus to Western Europe. We secure the smugglers’ cars, and they usually get arrested. pic.twitter.com/NnAczNKqsL

According to police, smugglers were paid to transport migrants.
Polish lawmakers on Wednesday backed the government’s plan to strengthen the border with Belarus.
As part of an extensive hybrid attack on the regime of Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko, attempts have been made in recent months to send thousands of illegal immigrants from Belarus to Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, most of whom have arrived in Belarus as tourists from Iraq.
The European Union (EU) has accused the Minsk regime of trying to avenge support for the Belarusian opposition and of sanctions against Belarus in response to last year’s violent crackdown on protests.
